Anyone have a decent spare driveshaft?

My poor old driveshaft is shot.

Help me find one if you can, the E30 is parked until then.

Guys, I may have found a local one in good shape.


Anyone have any experience with the bavauto rebuilders?

$500 after core isn't bad...

[10Toes]

How much does drivelines nw want to rebuild one? Should be cheaper then 500.

[Edev]

Driveline of Portland is cheaper than $500 I believe.

[StereoInstaller1]

Yeah, but not by much. You guys think I am best off there? Driveline Specialties sends them there now too, local stores that are even willing to try getting something all get it from "a rebuilder in california" (yeah right).

The other issue is that I can't seem to get these guys to call me back! I really have not found anyone that shitty in service in quite some time...but I know their work is top notch.

Just get it rebuilt, it'll be worht it.

[StereoInstaller1]

Found one locally (whatever the fuck that means) for free, or trade for a tiny bit of electrical I would have done for free anyway...we will see.

The damn thing was shaking like a dog shitting a peach pit.

Damn Luke, that's a lot of coin. If you use a shop name (don't have to have an account), an older cars driveshaft is ~$320 @ Driveline Service of Portland. My shop has used them for ~26yrs and never had a problem. We had one driveshaft that died from the transmissions output bearings shitting the bucket and slamming it around, and they took care of it w/in 24hr.

Mine wouldn't work out? I can tell Blake to give a good deal :)

[StereoInstaller1]

I got a winner for free, like score city.

thanks!

Damn, I paid $330 for mine (brand new) and they let me pay when it arrived and I brought them my core. No down time and very easy transaction. Dashboardmonkey can attest, he put it in.
